There’s no need to fear swarms of fishflies

METRO DETROIT — If you live or work somewhere close to Lake St. Clair, you’re likely familiar with fishflies — the winged insects that seem to arrive in swarms every summer, covering buildings,

BY DEAN VAGLIA

MACOMB COUNTY — As the summer heats up and vessels embark into Lake St. Clair, fun in the sun is the first thing on any boater’s mind.

But tragedy can strike at any moment, which is why Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham and the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office Marine Division is reminding lakegoers to practice safe and legal boating.

On June 15, Tom Geloneck, of St. Clair Shores, brought his 1964 Grand Prix to the Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot car show at the First State Bank, 16100 E. Nine Mile Road.

A St. Clair Shores family sells refreshing lemonade to their neighbors while also supporting a great cause.

Jen Stogiera said they’ve been hosting a lemonade stand in front of their house for six years now.

“I’m not sure about how many people — it’s hard to

say,” she said about the number of people who have visited the stand on Blackburn Street between Jefferson and Greater Mack avenues. “I guess I would maybe say anywhere from 25 to 50 people.”

In years past, members of the Police Department and the Fire Department came to support the lemonade stand and the charity the family donates to.

“I think it was maybe our second or third year when

we did it. They brought the fire truck and then, the police, when they’ve come, they just bring stuff for the kids, too, like the badges and little stickers,” Jen said.

The charity the family supports is called Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer. According to the foundation’s website, the charity was started when a little girl, Alexandra “Alex” Scott held a lemonade stand in her

LOCAL POLISH COMMUNITY PREPARES TO PARTY

BY ERIC CZARNIK

eczarnik@candgnews.com

It just might be the closest thing you can get to spending a weekend in Warsaw without buying a plane ticket.

The 41st annual American Polish Festival and Craft Show will come to the American-Polish Century Club’s campus in Sterling Heights June 23-25. Festival organizers say the event typically draws crowds throughout Michigan, surrounding states and Ontario.

Festival organizers are inviting the public to come hungry for Polish and American meal options. The usuals like kielbasa sausage, pierogi dumplings, potato pancakes, golabki stuffed cabbage and a skewered meat dish called “city chicken” — which isn’t actually chicken — will be served. There also will be fusion dishes such as Polish versions of nachos and egg rolls. Attendees of age may wash the food down with Polish and domestic beer.

Leonard Palermino, chef and general manager at the Polish club’s Century Banquet Center, said he believes that food is

largely what brings people to the event.

“We have traditional, authentic cooking — the way our parents and grandparents would prepare the food — and people seem to enjoy that,” he said. “We’ve been preparing since the end of April with getting items ordered and prepared and frozen.

When you’re dealing with 5,000 pounds of city chicken, you need to prepare that well in advance.”

The festival also boasts having “the largest wooden dance floor” in southeastern Michigan. Scheduled music acts include The Polish Muslims, Gerry Kaminski’s Polka Network, New Brass Express, and John Gora & Gorale. Dancers are also expected to perform.

In addition, the festival’s outdoor craft show will feature more than 50 vendors. The event’s final day will host a noon polka Mass.

Arnold Beller, president of the American-Polish Century Club, said he looks forward to seeing crowds having some summer fun. He added that his favorite part of the festival is meeting people and seeing old friends.

“We’re bringing it back for the second

ROSEVILLE — While the Fourth of July is a day for picnics and celebrations, the holiday is painful for Pam Leidlein.

It’s the day her daughter, Michelle Packard, 34, was killed by gunfire.

On July 4, 2012, Packard was at a fireworks event with her fiancé and his young daughter in the Lansing area. Packard was waiting for the show to begin when all of a sudden she fell over.

“Her fiancé thought she had a seizure,” said Leidlein, who was not at the event. Because Packard was unconscious, she was taken to a local hospital where doctors determined that she had been shot by a firearm.

“She was struck by a stray bullet,” said Leidlein, a retired educator who resides in Macomb Township. “It went into her brain.

Everyone was shocked it was a bullet.”

Packard was placed on life support and we “had to make the decision” to take her off life support. According to Leidlein, police determined the bullet that struck her daughter came from someone who shot a firearm into the air in celebration of July 4. The gun was not aimed at her.

“They think it came from a mile away.

They never found out who did it. It still af-

NEWS & NOTES

7A/ ST. CLAIR SHORES SENTINEL • JUNE 21, 2023

Our next edition will come to homes June 28

Literary walk coming to Blossom Heath June 24 Enjoy music and listen to award winning poets read their work at a literary walk at Blossom Heath Park on June 24.

According to M.L. Liebler, poet laureate for St. Clair Shores, the literary walks started about five years ago at Blossom Heath, and they’ve been doing it every year since. He said they had to do at least one online because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There are three sets of poets who will participate and read their poetry for those in attendance.

The poets include Jennifer DeBelllis, Alinda Wasner, Cindy Frenkel, Jan Mordenski, Christine Rhein, The Rev. Robert B. Jones, Carolyn Striho, Writer L. Bush and Vincent James Perrone.

The event is from noon to 3 p.m., and it will also be live streamed.

The poets’ books will be sold at the event. Liebler said the walk is open to everyone, of all ages.

Those in attendance are welcome to bring chairs.

OPTIMIST CLUB TO HOST JULY 14 GOLF OUTING

Shores staff to participate in county Incident Management Team The St. Clair Shores City Council recently approved a request to authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with Oakland County for staff participation in the Incident Management Team.

Fire Chief James Piper presented the agenda item and explained the team as a specially trained team for incident command and control. He referenced the tornado that occurred in Armada a couple years ago.

“If that had come through our area or (a) more heavily populated area, you would have an extremely large, expanded incident that would very rapidly expand beyond the capabilities of just one jurisdiction,” Piper said.

He added it’s not just about incident stabilization, but it’s about having a hand in every area, including but not limited to finance and recovery.

“This will allow us to be full participating members,” Piper said. “Right now, we can do training and planned events but if there were to be an actual needed deployment, we wouldn’t be able to until we have this memorandum with Oakland County.”

The St. Clair Shores Optimist Club will host a scholarship golf outing sponsored by Edward Jones on July 14 to help fundraise for a charitable cause.

Mikhail Yudin, an Optimist Club member, said the fundraiser is to help raise money for scholarships for kids who have overcome significant challenges.

“Essentially, we’re rewarding that effort to strive to improve even if they may have had an off year with grades because of those personal challenges,” Yudin said. “They show that they work toward graduating; they’ve showed, demonstrated that work ethic to overcome those challenges.”

Yudin said the scholarships don’t necessarily have to be for traditional schooling; they can be for skilled trades as well, and that the goal for the outing is to fundraise enough to increase the number of scholarships they can give to the kids.

“We believe that if we help the kids in our community, we’re also helping ourselves out,” Yudin said. “The better off the children are in our community, the better the future for the community in general.”

A ticket for the outing is $100 and participants will get a day at the St Clair Shores Golf Club plus breakfast, lunch and a dinner where they’ll speak about the scholarships. As a special guest, Detroit Tigers World Champion Dave Rozema will be on the golf course supporting the cause, Yudin said.

Lakeview Class of 73 to celebrate 50 years

Lakeview High School’s Class of 1973 will celebrate 50 years with a class reunion on July 21. It is their first reunion in 30 years.

The event will be at Blossom Heath Park, and Kris Pierowich, event chair and former president of student congress, said they worked with Celebrations to Remember to put on the event. The reunion will feature food by Chef Bobby, DJ/magician host Magic Joe and a lot of good memories, Pierowich said.

“We’re going to have a memory table with memories and memorabilia from the high school, trophies, letter sweaters, all that good stuff, memory books for the attendees,” Pierowich said.

Other things at the event include slide shows around the banquet room and a memory table for alumni who have passed on.

Tickets are $113. He also said they are trying to get a head count done by the end of the month.

Alumni who are interested can go to celebrations2remember.com.

Weapon found in vehicle

At 9:05 a.m. on June 11, a report was made about concealed weapons/firearms in an auto that occurred the same day in the 28000 block of Jefferson.

According to a report, an officer was dispatched along with two other officers to the stated location. When the officer arrived, the two other officers were already there talking to the occupants of the vehicle. A 30-year-old man was reportedly passed out in the driver’s seat and a 28-year-old woman was awake in the passenger’s seat. The man reportedly gained consciousness briefly and mumbled something incoherently, before falling back asleep.

An officer reportedly woke him up again and the man began making furtive reaching movements in the vehicle. According to the report, the officers got him out of the vehicle and walked him to the rear of it. They reportedly noticed the strong smell of intoxicants coming off of him and had to hold him from falling over. One officer began searching the vehicle, near where the man was reaching, and allegedly located a 9 mm pistol on the floor where the man’s feet were.

An officer handcuffed the man and walked him to one of the police vehicles where he was searched again before being secured in the vehicle. The man denied having a CPL and denied a gun was recovered from the vehicle he was in. A towing company was called and the vehicle was impounded.

The woman was provided transportation home.

An officer reportedly took the man to the St. Clair Shores Police Department for booking where he was allegedly defiant throughout the entire interaction with the officer. The man allegedly refused to complete paperwork and was processed. Another officer transported him to the Macomb County Jail for lodging.

The gun was found to be registered to a different woman.

Attempted vehicle theft reported on Nine Mile

At 11:46 p.m. on June 4, a report was made of an attempted vehicle theft that occurred on the same day between 4:30 p.m. and 11:46 p.m. in the 22000 block of Nine Mile Road.

An officer was dispatched to the location where, upon arrival, he was met by the victim, a 67-year-old woman, who said her orange vehicle was parked with fresh damage on it.

She said the vehicle was parked at 4:30 p.m. on June 4 and that she discovered it had been

broken into at 11:45 p.m. the same day. The rear passenger window was broken, the steering column was cracked and ignition wiring was pulled down in an apparent attempt to start the vehicle.

The woman stated that her vehicle was insured. The officer confirmed the damage and noted the vehicle’s hood had been unlatched during the attempted theft. The officer spoke with a neighbor who advised that he had heard the vehicle’s alarm going off around 11 p.m. The neighbor didn’t investigate the alarm as it wasn’t his car.

The officer checked the area for surveillance cameras but did not locate any. The officer checked the lot for any abandoned vehicles used by the suspect but did not locate any.

An evidence technician evaluated the crime scene. The officer suggested that the woman disconnect her vehicle’s battery for the night and provided her with the report number.

Woman falls victim to gift card fraud

At 3:25 p.m. on June 6, a report was made of a fraud that happened on May 17 on the 28000 block of Little Mack Avenue.

An officer was dispatched to that location. Upon arrival, he was met by the victim, a 61-year-old woman, who said she was scammed while attempting to purchase tickets for a game show. She said she purchased two tickets and her daughter wanted to join, so she searched for another one. She looked up a phone number and when she called, she was told she had reached Ticketmaster.

The person she spoke with reportedly said a ticket was available but that she would need to pay with a gift card. The woman told police she went to a CVS on May 17 and purchased a Target gift card in the amount of $120. When she called back, the person asked for the security code and gift card number, which the woman provided.

The operator then instructed the woman to buy another gift card, so she reportedly went back to CVS and purchased a second Target gift card for $240. When the woman called back, she spoke with the same person who asked her to provide the gift card number and code again.

The woman reportedly gave the numbers and the person again said she would need to buy another gift card, at which point she realized it might be a scam.

The woman stated she provided her credit card number during the conversation but canceled her card and was unaware of any fraudulent purchases prior to canceling it.

She called the number on the back of the Target gift card and was advised the card funds were used at a Macomb County Target location.

Public Hearing: 6:30 p.m.

City Council Chambers, 27600 Jefferson Ave. Comment Period: June 12 - July 11, 2023 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently issued a proposed plan to manage PCB‐contaminated sections of the Ten‐Mile Drain storm sewer system. EPA is recommending excavating and replacing six manhole vaults, and 2,110 feet of pipe along with contaminated backfill material on Harper Avenue and Bon Brae Street, in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. EPA will dispose of all excavated material offsite at an appropriate landfill.

EPA’s site team will be available to meet one‐on‐one to talk about the proposed plan at an open house at City Council chambers from 5:00 to 6:00 pm on June 22, 2023, followed by a formal presentation at a public hearing in the City Council chambers at 6:30 p.m. EPA will accept written and oral comments at the public hearing. EPA will finalize its cleanup plan only after reviewing all comments. The proposed cleanup plan may be modified based on new information or public comments, so your input is important.

SPOTLIGHT ON SENIOR LIVING 12A/ ST. CLAIR SHORES SENTINEL • JUNE 21, 2023

CITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WORK TO MEET OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR SENIOR HOME/CHORE SERVICES

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

K

aryn Curro, the CEO of Interfaith Volunteer Services, said she first noticed the need while working with people in nursing homes over 31 years ago.

“I found that a lot of people who were living in nursing homes didn’t necessarily want to be there and, with a little extra help, they could stay in their own homes for longer and perhaps forever,” said Curro.

She said that some people were not in the nursing home for medical care but simply because they couldn’t take care of their daily needs at home. She said often they just needed help with daily housekeeping or transportation to appointments, or they were lonely.

However, when she started researching organizations that provided these types of

services, she found there were a lot of gaps and approached the Area Agency on Aging, who was in the process of launching what would become IVC. Initially, IVC was started by a fiscal grant received by Catholic Charities of Macomb in 1992. In 1994 it became an independent 501(c)3.

IVC offers aid to seniors throughout Macomb county and parts of Oakland and St. Clair counties. The organization pairs seniors with volunteers to help them achieve a desired task. Curro said they are able to help hundreds of seniors a year with home chores, but she stresses that there is no guarantee that they will be able to assist with any given task.

“We are an all-volunteer organization,” said Curro. “We do have some paid staff in the office who are running the program, but all services are provided by volunteers. So

responsible gun ownership in order to reduce child gun deaths. For more information, visit besmartforkids.org.

As part of Wear Orange Weekend and National Gun Violence Awareness Day, volunteers with the Macomb County chapter of Moms Demand Action in Michigan hosted the event to honor the lives of those affected by gun violence and elevate gun violence prevention efforts nationwide.

The event was held in partnership with the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, and attendees were encouraged to wear orange clothing.

The event included a Wear Orange Proclamation Ceremony, a peace walk and the opportunity to “Chalk About Gun Violence” by writing gun safety messages with chalk around the park.

Those who lost a loved one to gun violence were asked to bring a picture to share. Free gun locks also were distributed.

Wear Orange originated June 2, 2015, on what would have been Hadiya Pendleton’s 18th birthday. The Chicago resident was shot and killed in 2013 when out with friends. Wear Or-

ange honors Pendleton and the individuals who are shot and killed every day in America, the wounded and those who witness acts of gun violence.

“Over 120 people are killed daily by gun violence, and 200 are wounded,” said Amanda Angst, the local group lead for Moms Demand Action Macomb County. “These numbers are important because they’re staggering. It means hundreds of lives are being lost and impacted across our country. No community is immune.

There are no boundaries.”

Moms Demand Action — which has chapters across the country — says it works to pass stronger gun laws, promotes responsible gun storage and works in the community to encourage responsible gun ownership.

Gun violence not only includes firearms used for criminal acts and to kill or injure others, but also those who commit suicide. There is the argument that gun laws won’t stop a criminal from using a firearm or a mentally unstable person from committing a mass shooting.

“The biggest issue is easy access to firearms.

There is no one solution to ending gun violence.

Everyone has a role to play in ending gun violence and educating each other,” Angst said.

Orange from page 14A

Moms Demand Action says it is not trying to take away the right to own firearms for law-abiding citizens.

“We support the Second Amendment,” Angst said. “We welcome gun owners to the table to have this conversation.”

Several who gathered shared personal stories of gun violence. Christopher Ford, constituent relations for the office of Sen. Veronica Klinefelt, D-Eastpointe, remembered a cousin “who lost his life to gun violence roughly 10 years ago.”

“He went to a CVS and got a Valentine’s Day gift for his girlfriend. He walked out to the parking lot and he got shot. He didn’t even make it to the hospital,” Ford said. “It doesn’t hit you until it hits home, when you have a family member that’s affected.”

Ford brought up the 2017 Las Vegas shooting in which 60 people were killed and hundreds more injured.

“There is not enough conversation about gun injuries. We talk about deaths, but (the injured) have life-lasting injuries, mental health injuries, physical injuries,” Ford said.

James Williams, faith-based program manager/special projects manager with Crime Stoppers of Michigan, based in Southfield, reminded others that they can anonymously report information on crime at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. He also touched upon

the lasting effect gun violence has on families.

“Those families are changed forever,” Williams said. “Even in the cases where the information comes forward and the person that was responsible is arrested and convicted and goes to jail, that still doesn’t bring closure to a family who sits at the Thanksgiving table with an empty seat.”

Also present at Wear Orange were several local organizations, including the Roseville Neighborhood Watch Group, Macomb County Community Mental Health and Live Rite Structured Recovery Corp.

that limits what we can do. … Since we’re an all-volunteer program, if someone calls in for help, regardless of how much they might need that help, we can’t guarantee we can give them help. … It just depends if we have a volunteer (with that skill set) in that area.”

The types of services that IVC routinely provides include yard work like trimming bushes, raking leaves and pulling weeds; cleaning windows, and changing screens and storm windows out; sweeping garages; and even taking the trash to the curb.

It also provides transportation to and from doctor appointments and grocery stores, as well as basic housekeeping, decluttering and organizing of rooms or closets, doing laundry, and washing dishes, along with minor home repairs such as plumbing, electrical and carpentry work, if they are small simple fixes.

“Regular housekeeping is a big need, because a lot of times people can manage in their own home, but they can’t do all the chores to keep up their home safely,” said Curro of Interfaith Volunteer Services, based in Roseville. “If you start having mobility issues, it’s much more difficult to clean a bathtub or a shower and do some of the heavier cleaning in your house. I think that is a real ongoing need that a lot of people have, and to hire a cleaning service is usually incredibly expensive for someone of a very limited income.”

The one service that they don’t provide frequently is

lawn mowing services, because of the amount of equipment necessary to do so. However, the service might be possible if the person requesting it has a working lawn mower.

“We tend to describe the types of things we can do as something that you would ask a neighbor for help for. You know we don’t do anything too extensive. We don’t take on major repairs and renovations,” Curro said. “You might be comfortable having your neighbor rake your leaves for you, but you wouldn’t ask them to put a new roof on your house.

It’s kind of the neighbor helping neighbor level of services that we are able to provide.”

Last year the organization served close to 500 people and their families, approximately 300 of whom were in Macomb County, while 200 were in Oakland and St. Clair counties. Curro said the reason for that is simply the amount of volunteers they have available in each area. Services are not provided on a daily basis, but some services are provided once or twice a month, depending on the need.

IVC does not have any income requirements but tends to focus its service offerings on those who would not otherwise be able to afford the help and who don’t have family to assist them.

“We are really trying to get to the people that are isolated and impoverished and just really need a helping hand, largely because our volunteers are doing this just from the kindness of their own hearts, and they want to help the people in the greatest need,” said Curro.

The Macomb County Office of Senior Services also offers a few programs to help seniors with chores such as seasonal yard cleanup and the Handy Helpers Program.

The Handy Helper program offers light repair services such as replacing light bulbs, door locks, window catches, faucet washers and faucets. Program workers will also install screens, storm windows, window shades, curtain rods and weather stripping around doors, and caulk windows and repair furniture. Workers will provide heavy-duty cleaning of appliances, carpets and rugs. They scrub floors, wash walls, and clean interior windows that do not require a ladder to reach. They provide pest control and rodent services (except bed bugs) and install safety devices for seniors such as grip bars and bath chairs.

The Macomb County Office of Senior Services offers spring, summer and fall yard cleanup services. Volunteers rake leaves, clean flower beds, trim branches, wash exterior windows, and the like.

They do not provide snow removal services and will only provide lawn mowing services on a one-time basis if there is an “urgent need.”

However, some landscaping companies, such as Workhorse Services Lawncare and Landscaping, offer seniors a discount on lawn maintenance. Norm “Workhorse” Adams Sr., the owner of Workhorse Services, said seniors comprise about 80% of his business. He said that he always tries to give seniors a 10% discount on their lawn services. He offers lawn mowing, yard cleanup, small tree removal, bush and hedge trimming, etc.

“It’s kind of rewarding when you are able to help people who can’t help themselves,” Adams said.

One of his clients is an elderly couple; the man has

Boaters from page 1A

First things first: Make sure your boat works.

“Before you get on your boat, make sure that vessel is operational,” Wickersham said.

“Make sure your vessel is in good condition and that you have all the safety features that are needed.”

Everyone on board needs a life vest rated by the U.S. Coast Guard for open water.

“Boat owners, you are responsible for who you take out on your boat,” Lt. Gary Wiegand said. “Be mindful of the alcohol and remember passenger safety is your responsibility.”

Type I and Type II life jackets provide the necessary buoyancy for open water such as Lake St. Clair. Type V jackets — which inflate upon making contact with water — are acceptable but must be worn at all times to avoid being fined due to the intricate triggering mechanism.

Even if a life vest is worn, having a Type IV throwable device to pull people back into the water is legally required. For those who want to be safety conscious, having a rescue line is a good piece of equipment to add.

“What I always recommend is you have

some type of rescue line,” Wiegand said.

“Reason being the intended use of this is to throw (it to) somebody in the water so you can help self-rescue that person. The rescue line helps bring that person back.”

If you decide to swim deep in the lake, leaving a Type IV out on a rescue line will let it flow with the current and make it readily available to swimmers.

As for who can be captain, only certain people are legally allowed to operate a boat.

“To operate a personal watercraft, anyone born after Dec. 31, 1978, has to have a boater safety card,” Wiegand said. “Think about that date, think about that age range; basically, if you were born in 1979 or later you have to have (a card) to operate a PWC. It’s just like a driver’s license for a card. You have to have one.”

Youth ages 14 and 15 need parental supervision to operate a boat, and anyone who is 13 or younger is barred by law from operating one.

It is important for the boat to be registered to its proper owner in case salvage retrieval needs to be done.

“If something happens to that boat — if it drifts off the dock or is in an accident or sinks in the worst-case scenarios — we know who to look for,” Wiegand said.

Having an anchor is another important

“Last year, unfortunately, in the Macomb County portion of Lake St. Clair, we had two drownings,” Wiegand said. “These drownings could’ve been avoided if the person had their boat anchor. In both these sit-

several sponsors of Bill No. 235. Klinefelt is the chair of the Michigan Senate Veterans and Emergency Services Committee.

“It is a privilege to be part of honoring those women in such a meaningful way,” Klinefelt said in a prepared statement.

“Their continuous support of those fighting to preserve our freedom and liberty is worthy of recognition and applause. I am grateful for the Blue Star Mothers in my family, and all the Blue Star moms around the state who do so much for our servicemembers and our communities.”

“The Blue Star Mothers of America go above and beyond to support the men and women who serve this nation,” Outman said in a prepared statement. “They honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, visit injured service members in the hospital, help provide support to families who have lost a loved one, and many other volunteer efforts.

Blue Star Mothers do incredible work and handle a difficult and emotional task with grace. They do so much for veterans and their families — this legislation is about thanking them for the work they do.”

According to a press release from Klinefelt’s office, the bill is currently before the House Government Operations Committee, but it is unclear how soon it will be taken up.

Since it is a Senate bill, if the House passes the bill, it has to come back to the Senate one final time before it is sent to the governor to sign it into law. If the Senate finalizes the bill in 2023, the official Blue Star Mother’s Day would be in place for 2024.

The Blue Star Mothers of America Inc. was founded in Michigan in 1942. The moms came together after the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, in which Michigan native Jack Pitcher died aboard the USS West Virginia. The nonprofit, nonpartisan organization supports each other and their children while promoting patriotism.

Since forming, the organization’s members have assembled care packages to send overseas, hosted events and fundraisers at their homes, and participated in funeral or memorial ceremonies. They also volunteer to assist with various veteran programs.

front yard for childhood cancer and raised just over $2,000.

Alex was diagnosed at 1 year old with a cancer called neuroblastoma.

“By the time of her death in 2004, Alex raised $1 million and inspired a legacy of hope and cures for childhood cancer,” the website said.

Stogiera said the family set goals for the stand every year and that they change it from year to year. This year, the goal was set to raise $1,500 and they made just over $950.

“I do have to clarify, so that you know that some donations come in on our online page that’s connected to the organization, but that’s how much we as a family have raised this year,” she said.

William Stogiera, Jen’s son, was only 3 1/2 years old when the lemonade stand started. William is 8 1/2 now, and he said he thinks hosting the lemonade stand is pretty cool. His favorite part is lending a helping hand.

“Probably just earning money and helping kids with cancer,” he said.

William said his family helps him out with the stand and sometimes other people come over, like his grandma or other family

members. He said his friends also sometimes come over to support the cause he’s working toward.

“We had seven people that I know from baseball. (They) came to our lemonade stand to give us money,” William said.

William said he came up with the lemonade stand with his father.

“A long time ago, I said I wanted to do something fun, and my dad said we can come up with something. And then, like maybe like two or one year later, we came up with this lemonade stand,” William said.

Jen said William loves it and that he’s always there the two or three hours they host the stand. She also said that this year he was able to pour lemonade and ask people what they want from the available treats they have.

Jen said there was a man who came out to the lemonade stand last year who gave a $100 donation. The man said they had lost their son to lymphoma six years prior; on the exact day they were hosting the stand.

“So it was really special, and we kept the note that he wrote us and laminated it, so this year, that was why we hosted it, in that honor,” Jen said.

The family already hosted the lemonade stand this year, but Jen said they intend to host another one next year.

“We encourage other people to look

cancer, and although he would like to cut the grass, he just physically can’t do it anymore. Adams said that the man will start to cut a path, and the wife will call Adams in to finish the job. “So, I really understand the problem that they go through.”

Adams, 55, said he understands seniors more than most people. He has had personal experience with struggling to find someone to help his aging mother with simple things around her home and to take her to her appointments, as well as someone his mother could trust.

“I pay (a caregiver) $25 an hour, but what she does is priceless, because they built a bond, and I don’t know what I would do without her,” Adams said of the woman who helps him with his mom.

Adams services Oakland County residents in Southfield, Eastpointe and Oak Park. He can be reached at (313)415-0274.

To get services from the Macomb County Office of Senior Services you must be 60 or older and live in Macomb County. The services are offered free of charge, but donations/contributions are appreciated. Director Sheila Cote said there are currently only three part-time workers handling the tasks requested through the Handy Helper program. Due to the popularity of the program and limited funding, they are only able to provide a limited number of services, and the programs are waitlisted. There are currently

150 people on the list for handyman services and 100 people desiring spring/summer yard cleanup, which runs through the end of June. Cote said that they are doing their best to get through the entire list by the end of the month. However, those who do not get yard service this season will be put at the top of the list for fall yard cleanup.

“Our mission is to support seniors so that they can age in place and stay in their homes longer. And a lot of times they just need a little extra help,” said Cote. “They need somebody to fix a few things around their house or make it more comfortable for them.”

Cote said seniors are often so thankful for the volunteers who help them to maintain their homes and yards.

“It makes them feel so good that their yard looks nice.

It really boosts their spirits when their house is looking nice.

A lot of seniors worry about that. They can’t get to the lawn like they used to. They can’t trim their bushes. They can’t clean their yard. So, they feel self-conscious and upset that they’re not able to do that. So, when we’re able to send a team out there to do it, it just does wonders for their spirit.”

IVS and the Macomb County Office of Senior Services both provide “friend” services as well. IVS will send a volunteer to a seniors home as a “friendly visitor” to provide companionship, and the Office of Senior Services has “Friendly Callers” who will contact a senior via phone a couple of times a week to simply check in on them.

“It’s a much-needed program,” Cote said. “Our goal is to assist seniors to live independently and age in place, but, unfortunately, the funding isn’t enough to do that with every senior in Macomb County, so we try our best to get to every-

body, but, unfortunately, it’s a funding issue. There just isn’t enough funding to meet the need at this time.”

A limited number of volunteers greatly limits the number of people who can be serviced. According to Curro, the number of volunteers working for IVC has dropped dramatically since the pandemic. She said they used to have approximately 600 volunteers, whereas today they have around 350.

“As much as we publicize services, we can’t help anybody if we don’t get the volunteers,” said Curro. Cote stressed that they appreciate the large organizations who volunteered their time to help with yard clean up this season, but they can always use more volunteers to be able to get to all those who are on the waiting list.

“The population is still continuing to age, so there are more people with these types of needs,” said Curro.

For more information on IVC, to obtain services or volunteer with IVC, call (586) 757-5551 or visit IVCinfo. org. To obtain services or volunteer with MCOS call (586) 469-5228 or visit.

Many other cities and communities throughout Oakland and Macomb Counties have home chore programs and offerings. To find out what your community has to offer, contact your city offices or senior center.

Places such as IVC are part of the National Volunteer Caregiving Network — a coalition of caregiving communities throughout the nation. If your city does not have any offerings, you can go to Nvcnetwork.org to find additional resources.

Fishflies from page 1A

Photo by K. Michelle Moran

Fishflies have started arriving in lakefront communities. The winged insects could be found clinging to The War Memorial — on Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe Farms — on June 14.

gist and consumer horticulture extension educator with the Michigan State University Extension Center, said he spotted some in St. Clair Shores a few days earlier.

“They’ve been out for about a week or so,” Lowenstein said when reached by phone June 14. “Anytime within the next two weeks would be right on track (for their arrival).”

They emerge in batches of thousands to millions over a roughly two- to three-week period each summer.

Fishflies — which are technically mayflies — might seem like a nuisance, especially for business owners who find themselves clearing scores of them off their windows and buildings, but they play a vital role in the ecosystem.

Lowenstein said the insects “spend the majority of their lives” in the water — about one to three years. In this larvae phase, he said, they are an important food source for fish, which will also dine on fishflies that happen to land on the surface of the water.

They’re also a sign that the lakes are relatively clean and not full of pollutants.

“They only emerge where the water quality is good and there’s a lot of dissolved oxygen,” Lowenstein said.

“We actually want there to be a large emergence of fishflies.”

The insects are really only seen in communities adjacent to large bodies of water, such as the Grosse Pointes, St. Clair Shores and Harrison Township, Lowenstein said.

“You only see them (in this area) if you’re 1 to 2 miles from Lake St. Clair,” Lowenstein said.

Fishflies emerge from the water in a subimago phase, where their wings aren’t fully developed yet, Lowenstein said. They only live for approximately one to two days outside the water, because they don’t have mouth parts as fishflies and therefore can’t eat. During this time, male fishflies mate with their female counterparts, the latter of which then return to the water to lay their eggs.

While their large numbers might look intimidating, fishflies neither bite nor sting.

“They’re a little annoying and they smell fishy, but they’re no threat to you or your garden,” Lowenstein said.

Lowenstein said there are more than 100 different species of fishflies/mayflies, the most common of which in this area is the Hex mayfly.

For a variety of bird species, fishflies are an easy food source.

Drivers need to be cautious because piles of dead fishflies on roadways can create slick spots, but otherwise, these insects don’t pose a threat to anyone.

“You don’t need to take any action if you find fishflies,” Lowenstein said.

These insects can be found all over the country, not just in the Great Lakes region; anywhere there’s a large body of water — such as the Mississippi River — people can find fishflies, Lowenstein said. There are just more of them in Michigan because of the prevalence of multiple large bodies of water, such as Lake St. Clair.

NEWS AND NOTE ITEMS TAKEN FROM AROUND OUR COVERAGE AREAS

See ‘50 Years an Artist’ at gallery FERNDALE — The Lawrence Street Gallery will be holding an exhibition for Glenn “Fuzz” Corey throughout the month of June.

The exhibition, called “50 Years an Artist,” runs through June 30. An opening reception was held June 4, and a mid-month reception will take place from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 18, at the gallery, 22620 Woodward Ave., Suite A. “There are two major trends in the art of the last hundred years: expression and reference,” Corey said in a news release. “For my part, even though some of my works, especially my pastel pieces, have expressive techniques in them, reference plays the major role.

Much of the work looks back to the mythology and other subjects that have been depicted by other artists of the past.”

“In much of my work I try to take themes and images of the past and make them more contemporary to try to satisfy the 21st century (poet Charles) Baudelaire,” he continued.

The gallery is open noon-5 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, noon-9 a.m. Fridays and 1-5 p.m. Sundays.

TROY — A local home in Troy was recently designated as a Michigan Heritage Home by the Historical Society of Michigan.

The Douglass House was built in 1860 and was recently restored by its owners, Kevin and Susan Lindsey, who have lived in the home since 1989. A plaque was installed on the house to commemorate the honor.

“We are very pleased to get this, and have installed the plaque they sent us. It is my understanding that ours is the first such designation in Troy,” said Kevin Lindsey. “The house was already part of Troy’s historic district that designates homes as historic, but this is a new program that is statewide. We’ve stripped all the woodwork back to its original wood. We painted, removed paneling, and redid the kitchen and bathroom all following the standards for historic restoration. We even got a photo from 1913 so we could change the porches back to how they used to be and worked with our neighbors to move a barn back to where it was originally located.”

Layla Rogers, of Ferndale High School, was named an honorable mention in the 10th grade category, and Bryn Hazen, of Berkley High School, was named an honorable mention in the 12th grade category.

The cash prizes were $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place, $500 for third place and $100 for an honorable mention. The winning art will be displayed in the Oakland County Treasurer’s Office for a year and at the treasurer’s website at oakgov.com, along with all student entries.

E H T F O E M I R K•C E E W E H T F O CRIME Man arrested after tampering with beverages

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 26-year-old Detroit man is said to have tampered with beverages at the McDonald’s at 18201 Mack Ave. in Detroit and then did the same with a water bottle at Village Food Market across the street at around 9:15 a.m. May 29.

According to a police report, the suspect poured an unknown substance into beverages in an employees-only area at McDonald’s just before they were going to be served to customers. He is then said to have opened a bottle of water for sale at Village Market and poured something in it that turned the water pink.

The suspect told police that he needed to give people “the cure” and was following a directive from his god to add this substance to beverages to heal people. The suspect was cited for retail fraud for taking the water bottle and tampering with it without paying for it, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for a psychological evaluation.

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — A resident in the 500 block of Heather Lane filed a report with police May 31 after becoming the victim of an unknown con artist or con artists. In February, the victim said she was contacted by an unknown male suspect who claimed he was Todd Sloane, senior vice president of Publishers Clearing House. The suspect told the victim she had won $5.5 million but needed to wire cash to pay for taxes on the winnings before claiming the jackpot.

The victim made seven cash transfers over a six-week period totaling $102,000 that were wired to the suspect. In March, the suspect — who police said appears to be in Connecticut — instructed the victim to purchase and send a Rolex watch to an address in New York. Police said the watch was received and signed for by a different suspect March 21. The victim has since changed all her accounts and gotten an identity theft monitoring service, police said.

Women get into fight at store

GROSSE POINTE CITY — A 43-year-old Harrison Township woman and a 60-year-old Grosse Pointe City woman could be facing assault and battery charges after police said they got into a physical confrontation at The Village Kroger store at around 9 p.m. May 31. A police report states that the fight stemmed from the actions of the daughter of one of the suspects.

Someone tries to duplicate woman’s debit card

EEK

HE W T F O E M I R C WEEK •

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11 a.m. May 13, a woman came to the Police Department to file a fraud report. She stated that she had received a call from

her bank May 10 informing her that someone was trying to duplicate her debit card. The bank also advised her that someone was trying to change her personal information that was associated with her bank account. Upon talking to the bank, it was discovered that someone had tried to charge more than $9,000 worth of purchases on her cards, but the transactions were all declined.

Breaking and entering, theft reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:50 a.m. on May 25, a report was made about a breaking and entering and theft that occurred between 2:50 a.m. and 3:10 a.m. on the same day in the 21000 block of Madison Street.

Upon arrival at the listed location, two officers spoke with the victim, a 35-year-old man, who said when he woke up that morning, he discovered someone had gone into his garage and taken one of his ATVs. The man had posted the ATV for sale on Facebook Marketplace, but he did not recall any suspicious activity regarding the post.

The garage had been left closed but with the pedestrian door unlocked. Behind the garage, a large hole was cut into the fence. It appeared the driveway was too congested with cars and there was not enough room to get through.

An officer spoke with a neighbor, a 65-year-old man, who said that at around 3 a.m., a camera in his backyard captured two male subjects pushing the ATV out of the yard and down the driveway.

The victim did not notice any other belongings missing from the garage. While going back to the station to pick up equipment, an officer located the stolen ATV on Madison Street. The ATV did not appear to have any damage but was missing the ignition key.

The ATV was dusted for fingerprints and the victim was notified.

Ear wax remover, cane stolen from drugstore

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to a drugstore along Van Dyke Avenue May 20 and heard from a manager that a heavyset woman in her 20s or 30s wanted to return a medical ear wax remover and a foldable walking cane, without a receipt, that she claimed she had bought earlier from another store location.

The manager reportedly told the woman to return to the original store from which the items had allegedly been bought. Store staff reportedly added that a cane and ear wax remover were missing from their shelves.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed the suspect going into the store with an empty plastic bag and then being in the section where the stolen items are shelved. Police said they have no leads and took no other action.
